Its Friday January 7, 2022. Sentences were handed down in the criminal case of the killers of Ahmaud Arbery. Life without possibility of parole for the racist father/son murderers. Life with parole possibility after 30 years for co-conspirator, racist, and video producing neighbor. Each of these convicts involved thought they were above the law due to their law enforcement status. Careful thought was given by the judge. Political leaders had made several exclamations about Ahmaud Arbery's murder and the continued quest for justice. The world revolves around the universal concept of justice. Whether in Biblical times or today, deliberations are always made to determine the guilt or innocence of the parties involved. We must get out all possible outcomes to get to the truth of the matter. We must evaluate all evidence before reconciling the matter. And we must move forward to gain the rewards attached to ending the situation that has been thoroughly vetted. We have a long journey ahead in the United States. After 400 years of slavery, Reconstruction, Jim Crow, segregation, and institutionalized racism, laws are being fought by those who are unwilling to change our society. We must remain diligent to create and sustain irrevocable rights and monumental policies for our future. So now that we have a verdict, what do we do next? Some suggestions are:
-Take a deep breath.
-Take care of yourself. Connect with your loved ones.
-Use your voice in ALL elections. Register to vote.
-Continue to #SayHisName.
I don't know what the future holds, but I do know who holds my future. I put my faith, trust, and hope in God as He navigates this thing called life. I aspire to live the best life....the purple life. I strive to be in God's will as He has a plan for my life. I often move as He would have me move deliberately and with purpose. He has the vision, and He's made it plain. The prayers of our ancestors came full circle. So what say ye about tomorrow? Have you aligned your will with His? Have you noticed the difference in your results? How are you doing on your journey? How do you intend to move forward in this historically charged moment? Please share your comments below.
